WARNING

The intelligent technology used in Travel Assist cannot overcome the physical limits specified, and functions only

within the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of Travel Assist can cause accidents and serious

injuries. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.

● Observe the system limits and information on Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC) and the lane keeping system (Lane

Assist).

● Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

● Never use Travel Assist in poor visibility, on steep or winding roads, or on slippery road surfaces, e.g. due to snow,

ice, wet roads, loose chippings, or on flooded roads.

● Never use Travel Assist offroad or on unsurfaced roads. Travel Assist is designed for use on surfaced roads only.

● Travel Assist does not react to persons, animals or vehicles crossing or approaching in the same lane.

● Take control of the vehicle immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display

or if Travel Assist does not reduce the speed sufficiently.

● Apply the brakes if the vehicle starts rolling unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.

● Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you are ready to steer at any time. The driver is always

responsible for staying in lane.

● Take control of the vehicle immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears on the instrument cluster display.

● Be prepared to control the speed yourself at all times.
